Candied Sweet Potatoes

5 medium sized yams

¼ cup water

½ cup light brown sugar

3 tablespoons butter

Wash potatoes; cook until soft but not mushy; drain and peel. Cut in slices, lengthwise, and put in a buttered baking pan. Spread with sugar, dot with butter, add a few drops of lemon juice, add the water and brown in oven, basting with the syrup. Serve very hot.

Parsnips may be cooked in the same way.
